Tonight we went to a concert at East Aurora High School put on by the BYU Idaho Sound Alliance and Vocal Union. This was presented to the community through the help of the Public Affairs arm of the church here, of which Angela is a part. She has worked very hard over the last couple of […]
Today Brittany had her track meet at Waubonsie High School. Right now she is trying to juggle being in the Musical and running track at the same time. She hasn’t been to many track practices and the coaches have been really good about this. With not much practice, however, she got her personal best time
We found out that my dad has to have open heart surgery next week! 🙁 For awhile now he’s been having chest pain, but ignored it somewhat. He told my brother Greg about it (who is a cardiac PA) who then listened to his heart. Dad has always had a slight murmur (rheumatic fever twice
Brittany made the High Honor Roll for the 3rd quarter! She was so excited! She got above a 3.8 and we are very proud of her efforts! She worked very hard all the way through the quarter. She told us that she was going to do it this quarter if it killed her and she
Today was Zach’s first day of spring soccer! He was so excited that he got up way early and got dressed and ready to go. At 7am he was ready to get in the car to go, and we didn’t have to be there until 10am! 🙂 It’s fun being his head coach and we

Some of the pictures she took came out wonderfully well and we were all very impressed. Check them out: I think she loves outdoor photography

Today I took off work and we went as a family to the Brookfield Zoo. Ben got a season pass for the zoo for his birthday and it included the whole family! Ben and Zach love the animals. The girls enjoy it too, but we think that they (especially Sarah and Brittany) are kind of
Sarah got home from Disney today and she had a great time! As we said earlier, she marched on Sunday. On monday, they had some clinics where they played music with a professional Disney conductor who gave them tips and critique. They then spent the rest of the day split between Animal Kingdom and Epcot.

Today, Sarah marched in the parade at Disney World! She said they had an absolute blast! They were getting a little nervous that they might not make it because on the way down on the bus, they got caught up in a HUGE traffic jam where a semi truck carrying 44,000 pounds of bacon jackknifed
